Join us! Besides my excellent @BrookingsGov colleagues, we have two great journalists who know what’s happening on the ground in Iowa and New Hampshire, @DavidYepsen (who covered Iowa politics for the @DMRegister over 34 years) & @vgmac, the @BostonGlobe’s political editor.
We are one month away from the first contest in the 2024 presidential primaries!
Join us tomorrow at 2PM EST for a webinar to discuss front-runners, key issues, and what these contests tell us about the race ahead. #PresidentialPrimaries

We are working to collect data on any universities which officially teach a course on the history of the Midwest and, for comparison, on universities which teach courses on the history of the American West or South (which most seem to do). Please share data with @KevinMasonCity

Visit to the Caucus artifacts—a trip down memory lane. Covered John Glenn in 1984 outside the Happy Chef in Waterloo. During a media gaggle he pushed my microphone back, not sure why. Never covered him again! @StateCuratorIA @WHO13news from David Yepsen political buttons – at Des Moines, IA

Button from @DavidYepsen materials at @IowaMuseum may soon be obsolete. I believe both states have served the U.S. well. Great to discuss w/ @rogerriley of @WHO13news, tune in at 5pm and 6pm. #IowaCaucus #IowaCaucuses

It's National Radio Day. Here, NPR reporters use the latest ambient noise isolation technology to file/record voice tracks in noisy filing centers or echo-plagued hotel rooms.

While Republican Chuck Grassley leads Democratic challenger Mike Franken, the margin is narrower than in any Iowa Poll matchup involving Grassley since he was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1980. bit.ly/3aHH6fU #IowaPoll

This is one of worst Washington weekends: excessive, self-indulgent, pretentious under the false flag of the Press.

This podcast series is a shameless rip-off of my @TheAtlantic story from last April. No credit is given and the creator did zero original reporting. He even mispronounces the main character's name through all 8 episodes. (It's "kuh-SEE," not "KEY-see.") 🧵 open.spotify.com/show/36jBtv…

An 1871 massacre wiped out 10% of the Chinese community in LA. It was one of the U.S.'s most brutal mass lynchings.
As the nation enacts a new anti-lynching law, experts say there needs to be increased attention on this largely unknown piece of history.
